Tickets are $60 for adults, $40 for seniors (65 and over), $20 for teens, and children under 12 are free.
On-site camping is $5 and parking is free for ticket-holders.
Proceeds from the festival will go to the Good Food Project, which grows farm-fresh food for Orangeville Food Bank and East Wellington Community Services. Proceeds also support to Erin Common Ground, whose mission is to regenerate soil health and community resilience in and around Erin.

“This is a low footprint event. Whatever you bring, you need to take away with you,” organizers say.
Organizers are also looking for volunteers “who are passionate about music and creating a safe and inclusive space for all,” they say.
One four-hour volunteer shift earns a free pass to the festival. Email gavin@everdale.org to register.
Everdale Farm is located at 5812 6th Line, Hillsburgh.
